The Construction Workers Health Trust recent visit to BRL
It is well established that building workers do
not enjoy as good health as white-collar
workers. The principal reasons are:
1. Lifestyle
2. Smoking
3. Poor diet

5. Stress
screening for the employees of both the BRL and
non-BRL construction projects. Nearly 240
workers attended the free screenings.
BRL wish to thank all the CWHT staff for their
professional services and also Mary Woolhead for her
assistance in obtaining suitable screening facilities.
Since 1997 health screening on building sites has
been provided throughout Ireland. Central to the
screening philosophy are the confidential clinical
tests, i.e. blood pressure, cholesterol, lung
function, blood sugar and body mass index. All
workers screened are given immediate results and,
if necessary, referred to a GP.
To compliment BRL’s Health & Safety Manager,
John Rizzolo’s commitment to raising the standards
of construction health and safety, Brian Kinsella,
BRL H & S Monitor invited the CWHT to
provide invaluable early detection and free medical

Since the beginning of the regeneration project, BRL

working together to keep the people of Ballymun
informed about the project.
Every month the Architects managing each area, Anne

with all five forums together and the Ballymun
Neighbourhood Council, to discuss issues that concern
the overall regeneration project.
